Wow! These were great listings. Just the mention of Journey, Foreigner (interesting as their history may be), Al Dimeola, G&R and almost the entire Zeppelin catalogue will have me gagging harder than the last Tequila drunk that I can remember.
Unfortunately, due to my age and where I was at the time, Seeger, Springsteen and even Boz Scaggs hurt me. Every frat at UNC-CH played these guys at every rush party during 1976, so even these guys fall into this category, as much as I could otherwise admire them.
Keep this coming. It's fun. I'll probably get flamed cause I got some good music and musicians in this list, but music resonates emotionally with me: that's good and bad.
It reminds me of a friend of mine who was a college radio jock in 76-78. The Edmund Fitzgerald sank for the 35th time in a five hour period (it seems) on UNC_FM and he called the station and told them that he'd done the math and about 1352 (or whatever) sailers had drowned that day, could they please give it a break. Nope, that's not the way popular music is done: it's done to death.
